Top Carpet Odors

Carpet is still one of the most popular choices for a flooring cover because of its distinct and luxurious feeling. Coker carpet are made from high grade material that are durable however, sometimes it is not the damages that most people opted to change their carpet often times it is that unpleasant odor that the material develops over time.

And now presenting the TOP carpet BAD odor of all time

Pet urine and droppings – It is somehow obvious that pet urine and droppings is the top contender, not only in carpet but in all floor types. The best thing that you can do is to remove the stain immediately preventing it to subside deeper in the carpet. As for the smell left behind you can use traditional cleaning methods such as commercial carpet cleaners and even a laundry detergent. Not only that they will get rid of the smell but also the microorganisms present in the waste products of your beloved pets.

Smoke – IF you are a smoker, then QUIT it. It is definitely bad for your health and for the carpet as well. In time the carpet and all other fabric in your home will smell like cigar. Studies did show that the third hand smokes (Odor that subside in fabrics) are also bad for your health so please spare your children. Obviously what you can is to QUIT it or if you can’t do it somewhere else.

Food – Another top contender is food odor, the aroma of a roasted beef or steak is really tempting. Well at least for us but not for your carpet, especially when all the smell had mixed and aged in the fabric. Well we can’t really much to this. The best thing that you can do is to deodorize your kitchen after cooking and if possible install exhaust fans to minimize the smell.

Water – Well water itself is odorless, however your soaked carpet will catch dirt and bacteria and dump fabric is a perfect breeding site for any bacteria causing the unwanted smell. Pat dry any soaked area and blow dry also disinfect as necessary.

Ultimately what you can do is to clean your floors regularly and as necessary. Coker Floor Company encourages you to do. It is not a tedious job since commercial products made it easier and a lot effective. You can also rent equipment for a more thorough clean.
